qseq to fastq - post conversion quality trimming
Trimmomatic is good for trimming Illumina data in fastq
format.

qseq to fastq - post conversion quality trimming
Hiya!
I have a bunch of old RNAseq data sets that I want to re-analyse using our current pipeline. First challenge was that the data is old enough to have been archived in qseq format, not fastq. I converted all files using a neat little java tool found here:
Described here: http://www.biostars.org/p/6682/
Has worked well and is pretty fast. My resulting fastq files, however, contain every single read - including the one with low quality and those that have a failed p/f flag. Therefore I want to some quality trimming before I move on to analysis.
Does anyone have any tool recommendations? And, more importantly, a rational way of filtering? What would be a good quality cutoff to use? If I am not mistaken the quality scores spit out by the java tool are phred64.
Cheers!

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
